High and Low (1977 Re-Release) — Original Japanese B0 "King Size" Poster
This is an original, ultra-rare Japanese B0 "King Size" billboard poster for the 1977 re-release of High and Low (Tengoku to Jigoku), widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made.
Printed in an enormous B0 format (120 x 180 cm), this is the most coveted size among collectors and cinema connoisseurs — and with good reason. The scale and presence of this poster are nothing short of breathtaking.
Exceptionally rare: In all our years of sourcing vintage posters in Japan, we’ve only ever come across this size once. A true unicorn for serious collectors.
The poster has been carefully stored for over 48 years and remains in excellent condition. Please refer to the images provided — what you see is exactly what you’ll receive.
Directed by the legendary Akira Kurosawa, High and Low stars Toshiro Mifune as Kingo Gondo, a powerful executive whose world unravels when a child is kidnapped and a ransom demand follows. Based on Ed McBain’s novel King’s Ransom, the film is a masterclass in tension, morality, and social contrast.
While Kurosawa is world-famous for his samurai epics, this modern thriller proves he was equally brilliant at turning contemporary stories into timeless cinema.
It is over 48 years old!
